Campus A-Go-Go (Eleki no Wakadaisho)

Go for it, Young Ace!!

Got it? Play #5.

They'll naturally target Tanuma.

So, I'm going give it to you, Young Snake, okay? - Yeah!

Tanuma passes from Ishiyama to me. - Got it!

Don't forget that Young Snake will be Tanuma's interference.

- Yes, Captain! - Alright, let's do this.

First one to touchdown wins!

- Good luck out there! - YEAH!

Ball down!

Ready, set!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8!

Ah, whoops... Ishiyama!

You idiot!

Ouch!!

Careful!

You blockhead!

- Hey, you alright? - Yeah, I'm fine.

Sorry about earlier, Tanuma.

- Hey, Young Snake! - Yeah?

Why didn't you pass the ball to Tanuma?

'Cuz the enemy line was exposed and

it looked like I could break through the center.

That wasn't the plan!

I got distracted when Tanuma called to me so I was a little late to dash.

Nobody asked you to break through the middle!

Just a minute, Adachi!

I'm pissed!

If this guy had just followed my plan...

I don't think Ishiyama did it on purpose. Please give him a break.

Captain, the director wants to see you.

Let's go then!

Tanuma, will you come with me? - Sure.

Gentlemen, thank you for your hard work.

Due to the loss against Northwestern today

the scheduled victory party will be cancelled.

Whaaaat?!?

Everyone, I'm sorry.

Instead, I'll have my own consolation party tonight.

And you're all invited!

Woo-hoo!!

- Welcome back. - I'm home.

Welcome -- Oh! Young Ace?

Still no customers at this hour? The recession, huh?

Eh, it's fine. We have a banquet today.

Hm...

I'm home!

Oh?

If you're home already, I guess you lost the game.

Yeah... Hey, Granny, you're making me hungry.

- Got anything to eat? - Steamed buns in the cupboard.

Dinner's almost ready, but I guess ya can't wait?

What's up? Why'd you get that thing out?

Well, I thought I'd offer up my services to the client at the banquet today.

Granny's shamisen music? I dunno...

It might spoil the sukiyaki.

Oh, poo!

I'll have you know the great actor Sadanji Ichikawa

was a customer and praised my playing!

By nature~

That's my cue!

A master~

Knows little~ of what's wrong~

I'm back.

I'M BACK!

He knows~....

Oh, Kyutaro. Welcome home.

How'd it go? The bank lending you that money?

There's no way they'll lend so easily in this economy!

- Well, Granny! I'm heading out! - Have fun.

Where are you going, Teruko?

A movie! With my friends.

No way. We're too busy with the banquet today.

It's dead out there, anyway!

Why don't you have Tomiko do the banquet?

I told you, she's busy.

Anyway, you need to get used to working up front.

You are not allowed to go out today!

What a bummer!

Great job, Young Ace!

Yo! Come on in!

Ohh, nice! Electric guitar!

Phew! When I listen to this my blood starts to boil!

- You a guitar head, Takashi? - Yeah, right!

I used to want to play, but I'm just a soba delivery boy!

- Wanna try? - Huh?!

- Give it a shot. - If that's alright!

- Yeah, go for it. - Ahhh, so cool!

This is the volume control.

This is the tremolo arm.

Wow...

Oh, that's good.

Good, good!

Yuichi.... Yuichi!

- You rang? - What're you doing?

You're annoying our customers!

Oh no! The soba's getting soggy!

Yuichi! We're busy today!

Go around back and take care of the heating.

Ah~ah~ahhhh~

Sukiyaki for three! Saké coming right up!

- Young Ace! - Yeah?

- We need to talk for a second. - What's up?

You know that Young Snake's campaigning to be the next captain?

- Campaigning? - More like bribery!

After today's game, he took the guys out for drinks!

- Hmm... - "Hmm," nothing!

Don't be so calm! We need you to be the next captain!

No, you don't!

If Ishiyama is elected, then that's that.

It's no joke! How can a guy like that be captain?

Y-young Ace! Stop this!

Hey, hey!

They're ordering more saké! What are you doing?

I'm about to warm 'em up.

I'll take care of it, outta the way.

Ouch! Ouch... Hot!!

[ Kyonan University ]

Mornin'!

Yo! G'mornin' Young Ace!

Ahh~ Nice weather, huh? I tell you what!

Today's the Captain Elections, eh? - Yup.

Wonder who will be chosen!

Who knows...

Young Ace,

if you're still undecided, please consider me.

Sorry, but I'm thinking of going with Eguchi.

Well, that guy makes a good manager...

And there is no one who has worked so hard for the department.

I see. Well, that's okay.

Ah! Young Ace!

If you change your mind, think of me! I'll buy you a drink later!

- Gooood mornin'! - Mornin'!

- That's all of 'em. - Alright, then. Let's count.

- I'll read it, you write it on the blackboard. - Got it.

Shinjiro Ishiyama.

Yuichi Tanuma.

Yuichi Tanuma.

Yuichi Tanuma.

Yuichi Tanuma.

By majority vote, the next captain is Tanuma.

Thank you all!

- Yeah! - Here, here!

Dammit!

Ack...whu-oh...

Hey!

- Hey, guys. - Huh?

- What happened to our promise? - Promise?

Don't play with me!

You glugged down a lotta booze saying you wanted me to be the next captain!

But, Ishiyama! We were drunk, man!

Shove it!!

And who gave you that alcohol?! Huh?!?

I-I voted just like I promised!

That's why there was just the 1 vote.

Shut up!!

I was the one who voted for myself!

Absolutely mortifying! I am not amused!

Bad news! Young Snake started a fight with Nishina and Izawa!

He asked everyone to vote for him, and no one did, so now he's fuming!

Well, what can ya do?

Tanuma, maintaining team harmony is the most important job of a captain.

- Nip this in the bud! - Yessir!

- Why you--! - Yaugh!

You weasel! Uwaugh!

Hey, hey, hey! Cut it out, jerk!

Dammit! Don't stop me!

Anyone who gets in my way will get a piece of this!!

Huh?

Stop it, man. What if you all get hurt?

We're leading the football team from now on, aren't we?

Screw it!

I don't care what happens to this pack of liars!

You fool!

If you want to be captain so badly, then earn it!

Ah... Tanuma...

If you wanna fight so badly, then have it your way!

Hey, Tanuma! Wait!

Hey!

You came here to stop the fight, didn't you?

That's right!

Well. It stopped.

- Cut that out. - Huh?

Wasn't a very civil way to stop it.

Ha...

Alright, then.

Let's have a reconciliation party tonight.

You're all cordially invited to my place.

Eh? Really?

I'll feed you with my pride and joy.

Okay!

Hey! Let's make up. - Huh??

Hey, you sure about that, Young Ace?

They each eat about 5,000 yen per person.

- I'll see what I can do. - All together, that's...

...if we do regular size meals... that's 5,000 yen....

- Welcome home. - Thanks.

- Welcome back. - I'm home. Granny...

There's cake on top of the cupboard.

- I'd like to ask you for a favor today. - What's that?

- Can I borrow some money? - How much?

Well, if each person eats 5,000 yen, for all 10 I'd need 50,000.

Why so many?

- It's all on the house. - On the house?

Actually, I've just been elected captain of the football team.

I'd like to have them over to our place for dinner, as a team.

Captain Yuichi! Well, congrats!

I'll get a part-time job and pay you back.

If that's the case, leave it to Granny!

I'll invite you all, free of charge.

You don't have to go out of your way.

We can't afford to give food away now, can we?

Don't be silly!

What's the point of having a restaurant if you can't do something like this?

- But the old man... - Don't worry about it!

- I'll talk to him. - You will?

Then I'll bring everyone around 6:00, okay?

Yeah, eat your fill!

- Oh, Granny... - Yes?

I overheard you there for a moment and your shamisen playing has improved!

Ohh, you flatter me!

See ya!

Yuichi became captain, eh?

He must be very popular. Just like me when I was young.

Oh, and a-one!

A man is not what he seems~

A college student, he is soft-hearted~

That's Goki, isn't it?

That's Yukai, isn't it?

And a-two!

Don't look twice, it's a turtle~

A college student sticks his head out the window~

That's Goki, isn't it?

That's Yukai, isn't it?

Aw yeah yeah yeah yeah!

And a-three!

It'll make you want to stand on your head~

Aaand I'll take over the one-and-only Kyo~nan!

Yo, Captain! You're a real understanding guy!

After this, let's go have a drink in Ginza!

- It's too late. - Thatsh notta prob'em...

C'mon! I know a place with good girls!

C'mon~

But if you don't wanna be with a guy like me, that's another story…

- Okay, I heard you! - Oh, you dog...!

Okay? If it's okay, then let's go!

- Eguchi, you're so good! - You think so?

Ah, yeah, thanks. - Teruko!

That's enough up here. Help downstairs.

Aww, but...

Granny, you've also done enough.

They're annoying the customers downstairs.

You're the one who's being annoying!

Everyone here's feelin' good!

- Boss! - "Boss"?

- Let's not talk about such things! - That's right!

Hey, you sure you're good to drive?

Aw, you're so uptight! Right, Etsuko?

- Hm? - Put your moves on him!

Sure thing, but don't get jealous.

Sorry, but I think cars are prettier than women.

Because unlike women, they do what they're told! Amiright??

- Hey, watch out! - Yowza!!

We're living dangerous tonight anyway!

Hooray!

- Eek! - Hey! Stop!!

Hey!

[ Reed Music Supplies ]

I'm screwed! I'm so screwed...!

- What were you thinking? - I'm totally screwed!!

- That's the police. - The police?

What do we do? What do we do, Tanuma?

Please, please! Do this for me! Please!

Please, what?

I've already got 9 traffic violations.

This time I won't just get off with a fine!

So, please...!

Granny, I'm sorry, but the numbers don't add up.

I hope you got paid properly for upstairs today.

I did, but I just haven't made the deposit yet.

Oh, I see... Huh?!

It's just like a company banquet.

Even at the university, the check is due at the end of the month.

- You sure about that, Granny? - Oh, yes!

Well done. Now, come on, the tea's ready.

Hey, there's one cake left. You want it?

Uh... sure... I'll have some.

So, who at the university was in charge of the banquet?

Now, now! Don't you worry!

The university won't disappear in the night, will it?

Hello, Tanohisa Restaurant.

Eh? The police?!

Huh? Wh-what?

Yuichi is my son.

Yes! Yes, sir! - What was that?

Well, I'll be darned!

Yuichi caused a car accident!

- He got hit by a car?! - Worse.

- Wha?! - Drunk driving!

He ran a light and caused a collision, injuring the other driver!

There must be a mistake!

Yuichi would never do such a thing.

Well, that's what the police told me! The police!

You trust the police more than your own son?

What a shame! Well, you did go to a trade school...

That has nothing to do with it!

[ Sumiko Hoshiyama ]

Apologize well and get her to settle.

Got it.

Come in.

Hi, it's me from the other day. How are you feeling?

They say it's not too bad.

As long as the results of the checkup are good I can go home.

Oh, thank god!!! Er... we're happy for you....

I brought the person who was driving that night.

It was me who hit you. I'm very sorry.

Keep your tackles on the field from now on, huh?

Huh?!

You're the captain of Kyonan U's football team, right?

- You know that? - The police told me.

I'm here because the police told me to come.

Can we settle out of court on this?

Of course, we will compensate you.

- Right, Ishiyama? - Yeah, no problem!

Uh, umm... Ha ha... one sec...

Hey, no need to consult me about it!

Fine. I'll settle.

In return, don't ever do that again.

Great news, Tanuma!

I sincerely apologize.

I, too, sincerely apologize.

Ah! These are from me...!

This too!

It's just... a little something...

Yuichi!

Yuichi!

Yuichi!!

Yuichi's not here?

Yuichi! - Quiet, you!

The captain of the football team is very busy and needs some shut-eye!

This is not the time for that!

Why is there a bucket here...?!

Tch! Oww...

- Yuichi! - U-um...!

Yuichi!

Hey, Yuichi! Wake up!

Whuzzat...? Breakfast time?

As soon as he opens his eyes, he's ready to eat!

- More importantly, what're you gonna do about this?! - What's this...?

The hospital bill.

I heard you talked big about taking full responsibility!

Gimme that then...

- This just came for you. - What's this?

Now it's the auto repair bill!

Wha?? 57,000 yen?!

S'fine... I'll take care of it...

How will you pay?! Yuichi!

- It won't trouble you, Dad. - W-what?

- Listen to you...! - Here's this.

- Oh, I'll take that. - Let me see!

- This is the traffic fine! - It's nothin'!

Heyyy, Ishiyama!

- Yo! - I've got something for you!

- Oh yeah? - Here.

I'll take the blame, but I'm not paying this.

Oh, money? If it's money, leave it to me!

What's the grand total?

- 94,000 yen. - 94,000 yen. Gotcha.

I'll ask Dad, and we'll figure it out. Come on!

Wait just a minute. Is a check okay?

Yeah, that works.

He's got a nice guitar here.

What do you need that kind of money for, hmm?

- Hey. - Sir.

That's a nice purchase, Papa!

- Give me 100,000. - What are you talking about?

I just bought you an electric guitar for 250,000 yen!

It's all good, Papa! You got 8 million, I get 100,000.

What are you babbling about?!

Stop thinking about spending money all the time and learn a thing or two!

Cheapskate!

You dolt!

Cheap! Stingy!

- My old man's a real tightwad! - I don't care if he's tight or not!

I'm good...

What're we gonna do? I'm so screwed...

- What're we doing, Tanuma? - We can't just ignore her.

Thank you very much.

Oh!

Thanks for the other day. So, you're okay?

Yes.

- I sincerely apologize. - It's fine!

I sent the bill for the car to your house.

- Did it arrive? - Yes!

- So that's that? - Yeah, about that...

Hey, come in for a minute.

- Well, if it isn't Young Ace! - Shopping?

- Sorta. - Welcome!

I've broken my G string. Please repair it.

- Sure! - It's a Gibson.

Yes, ma'am.

- Whoa, you play electric guitar? - That's right.

Wowww, a lady's trifle, eh?

Trifle nothing! The four of us are in a band!

That's right!

We're called The Ivy Sisters. Cool, huh?

I'm Noriko, the drummer.

- Lead guitar, Eiko. - Rhythm guitar, Yukie.

And Yukiko on bass!

Well... You sure you're getting the sound right?

Excuse me!

Next time you see us, we'll be on TV winning the Electric Showdown.

What a surprise!

10 rounds, competing for 100,000 yen!

- 100,000 yen? - You heard me!

Then we're thinking of taking a trip around Japan!

100k?

Okay, Ishiyama! You got a nice guitar, can you play?

Don't be stupid!

When you hear me playing,

you go numb and can't stop trembling for about 3 days!

Sure that's not because of the electric shock?

Don't be ridiculous!

Hey, Ishiyama,

why don't we form a band and play in the Electric Showdown?

If we get that 100k, that'll solve everything.

Oh! Good point!

From there you smoothly shift notes. Like that.

I can't help it!

You suck, man! You've got 5 fingers, right?!

5 fingers, right here!

A guitar has six strings. It's only missing one.

Besides, I picked up a guitar for the first time today.

Hey, hey! You're not playing an abacus!

That's it. I'm out.

I'm more suited to be a manager, after all.

Hey, you don't have to try so hard, it's easy.

Nahh, I give up.

It would be better if we had four guitars.

Oh, hey!

- Yo, Takashi! - What's up, Young Ace?

- You wanna join our band? - Eh?? Yeee!

Your skill is just fine! We'd appreciate it if you'd join.

Wow, really??

I'll get you Tesco's best guitar 'n uniform.

He's our sponsor.

Awright! Let's do this!

Hey, now! This is someone else's, isn't it?

It's fine, there's plenty of delivery services out there!

I'd rather be in a band, anyway.

When I get good enough, I'll go pro.

Well, eat up! Go ahead!

Let's go! 1-2-3 hike!

Well, I am sorry to hear that.

Sorry but you are out.

What's wrong? What's going on?

Dear nation-wide audience,

these are pure-hearted electric guitar enthusiasts!

What could possibly be wrong with electric guitars?

That's insane.

I'd like to see the faces of the parents whose kids come out there like this.

It's fine. They're just young.

Ah! It's Yuichi!

Where? ...huh?!

By the way, who is the leader?

I... I am.

Oh, okay. And what is the name of your band?

Uh... Shinjiro Ishiyama and The Young Beats.

That's a pretty good name. Young Beats.

Blah-blah good... Blah the best. Blah-blah sponsor...

You've got to be kidding me.

But I wonder why Yuichi isn't their head...

Ishiyama is providing the instruments, so they made him the leader.

If Yuichi had told us, we could've provided instruments. Right, Kyutaro?

This is not a joke!

Hoi!

Hoi!

Hoi!

Granny! Your shoulders will cramp again!

Congratulations! You passed!

How'd it go for you? Seemed like you were feeling it!

- I was groovin'. - Ah, indeed.

And doing so with dignity. I'm really happy for you.

How about you? How was it?

- Yeah, it was really exciting. - Ah, very nice!

Alriiight, and this one was quite showy, weren't you?

How'd it go?

- Well, I was feelin' it... - Sure, sure!

Then, let's ask the jury members.

Ms. Kazuko Ishihara, what did you think?

Yes, all four were really well aligned.

And I think the lead guitarist was especially good.

Oooohhh...

- HOORAY!! Ah! Ow, ouch...! - Granny, are you okay?!

- Ahh~ Owwee-ow-ow... - Granny!

What's going on? W-what's wrong?

- My hips! - Your hips?

Ahh... ouch, ouch...

Hey, if we move forward today, we'll have passed 10 rounds, right?

Yeah! The 100,000 yen will be ours!

Hey, guys, let's go for it today!

Yo, manager! What are we going to do now?

We're meeting at Ishiyama's house at 6:30.

Oh, and Young Ace!

Make sure to bring Takashi with you!

He's the band's ace after all!

- Hello! - Oh! Welcome!

- I saw you on TV last week. - Oh, really?

- How was it? - What?

My guitar!

You had the best instrument out there!

Tch... Oh well!

I have one last showdown tonight, if you want to come watch?

I got you a ticket. I'll work harder if you're there!

Wow! Thank you!

I'm on the early shift, so I think I can go.

- Thanks! - Really? Gee whiz!

Welcome.

- One pick. - Yessir.

Who's that? Young Snake?

You're gonna be in the Electric Showdown tonight, yeah?

Yeah...

Wanna know who you're up against?

Don't be shocked. It's my band.

Really?!

Is that right? Well, I gotta go...

That's right! Nice meeting you here!

- Go easy on us, okay? - Whatever, man!

Eh? That a problem?

No, it's not like that.

Then do what Akada says.

You've got a pretty good picture, don't you?

Nice! Good cover!

You're not gonna beat us.

- Got it? - Okay! Got it!

Goodbye!

Teruko? Teruko!

Granny, has the Electric Showdown started yet?

What the heck? You said it was too noisy or something.

I guess you're into it, after all?

If he gets that 100,000 yen, I won't have to give him any allowance!

Don't be so stingy!

What's the matter, pal? Calm down. Calm down.

Yeah, I know... This time is different!

- Good luck, everyone! - Yes!

We got this! Hey, let's tune a bit.

Ready? Get the sound just right.

Hey, Ishiyama. Here.

- You know those guys? - Yeah.

His name is Akada, The Electric Eel. He's the son of a bank president.

He's a delinquent.

Well, regardless you compete with your guitar.

Doesn't matter. Get ready.

They call him The Electric Eel because he's so good. Besides...

Alright, folks. It's time. This way, please.

Let's knock it out of the park!

Young Snake. You know how it is.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen. My name is Sean Connery.

Just kidding! Good evening, everyone!

It's time for another "Go! Go! Electric Showdown!"

I look forward to spending the next 30 minutes with you all.

We hope you all will be just as excited.

So, first, let me introduce to you last week's champions, The Young Beats.

Come on out, champions!

This week you're lookin' sharp in your new suits!

How are you doing? - Very good.

Nice! Look at that confident face!

Okay, champs! Go take your seats in the champion section and wait.

Thank you!

So let's begin by inviting our first challenger...

Come on down!

Wowww, take a look at you!

I thought there must be some Beatles in there.

What is the name of your band?

- We're The Sharks! - The Sharks?

That's a sharky name, huh?

You have something hanging here. What is it?

Yes, well, y'know how The Beatles were recently awarded the Medal of Honor?

The thing is, we totally dig The Beatles,

so we decided to make our own medals, too.

Oh, I see! And which medal is this?

- The Quartet Performance Award. - The Quartet Performance Award...

And with that, let's hear them play!

Go ahead!

One, two! One, two, three, four!

Here ya go, Granny.

Granny, are these guys any good?

They're no match for Yuichi!

Heyyy, great job! You made it!

Sincerely, great job!

Let's ask the judges right away.

Judges, if you please!

How many points did they get?

Ms. Kazuko Ishihara, if you please!

Yes...

And now, welcome the champions!

- Good luck, Young Ace! - You can do it!

Now, let's see what you champions can do.

If you win this week,

you'll have won 10 rounds and the 100,000 yen prize!

But you need to score more than 90 points.

Your championship title is on the line, here.

What song will you be playing?

"Stars in the Night Sky."

Well, guys! Do your best!

Follow me where I go

There are so many stars in the night sky

We'll walk together as far as the eye can see

I'll take your hand, my love

I promise you

I'll hold your hand

I'll never let go

Don't cry, you've got me

Wipe away your tears and try to smile

Try to smile, try to smile

- 100,000 yen! 100,000 yen! - You did it, Yuichi!

That was awesome! Right?

- You did it!!! - 100,000 yen! 100k!

Here's the 100k!

- You guys rocked! - Buy me something!

Curse that Young Snake...

Mr. Akada, do you know anyone in that band?

Yep.

- Hey, introduce me. - Eh?

Hey, hey! Look but don't touch!

Sumiko!

Thank you!

For me? You shouldn't have...

Young Snake.

Ah... Sorry about today...

Let me introduce Michiko Matsubara.

This is Ishiyama from Kyonan University.

Congratulations, Champion!

Ha ha ha! Why am I so popular today?

- Can you do me a favor? - Huh?

Um...

could you introduce me to the fella who sang the song?

What, Tanuma?

Well, that's okay, I have Sumiko.

Excuse us.

- Hey, Tanuma! - What?

May I introduce Yuichi Tanuma. This is Michiko Matsubara.

- Nice to meet you. - Likewise.

That was a beautiful song.

I was so moved.

Ask everyone to order and give them whatever they want.

Yes, ma'am.

Tanuma, care to dance?

- Sure. - Whoop! Whoop!

Everyone, please feel free to do as you please.

This is my dad's club, so don't be shy!

Wow!!

What's with her? Acting like royalty!

Why not? Thanks to her, we get some fine grub!

In that case, keep the expensive stuff coming!

Agreed!

Okayyy...

- I'll take the most expensive one. - Same here!

Let's see...

One bowl of katsudon, with soy sauce on top!

You bumpkin! They don't serve katsudon here!

This isn't a soba joint!

Umm... Sumiko, would you like to dance too?

It's the rumba.

I hope you take this chance to get to know me.

Yeah...

But football practice keeps me busy.

You don't practice all night, do you?

I guess that's true!

I sure was lucky to have a car accident with someone like you, Sumiko.

But wasn't it Tanuma who hit me?

Eh?! Well...

He's a terrible driver.

Hold on!

Aren't they getting a little too chummy?

Let's give 'em a scare.

- What's wrong? - Ehh...

Young Snake.

Heh heh! Great job tonight. Yeah?

Well, let's just let the competition go, shall we?

Can I borrow her for a minute?

- N-no, c'mon... - Speak up!

What's the lady's name?

Sumiko Hoshiyama.

Sumiko... Nice name!

Hey, wanna go have some laughs with us for a bit?

- No. - Oh? No...?

She said, "No."

Oh, you shut up.

Now, don't be like that...

- I'm not interested! - Let go!

You punk!

Take that!

What am I chompin' on this for? Now I'm really pissed!

- What's going on here? - Tanuma!

What's this?

Try any funny business and you'll regret it!

Don't force it if she's not into it.

This guy!

Don't get carried away just 'cause you're a hit with the ladies!

Why you!! Huh?! Wha??

- Come on, man. - He's good!

Spread out, guys! Let's do this!

You go first!

Okay! Let's go!!

Yaahh! Ah! Watch out!

You jerk! Ah~ Ah!

Why you...!

You sonnuva--!

There! That's it! Give 'im the right!

Augh!! Ow-ow-ow!

Ah! Ouch!

Scumbag!

Hiyaa!

Everyone! Gentlemen, please stop!

- Please stop. Please stop. - Shut up! You~!

You rat!

Ready! Set! 1-2-3-4! Hike!

[ Kyonan University Students Brawl ] [ Club & Restaurant News ]

Disowned! You are disowned!

I'm cutting all ties!

Oh, that is a bit severe.

He beat up the son of the bank chairman I'm trying to get a loan from!

I have to disown him on their behalf!

So you're saying

the bank's money is more important than your own son?

How pathetic! After all, you...

Trade schools have nothing to do with it.

Granny, leave it alone.

I hate making excuses. Disownment it is.

I just need to get out of this house, right?

Yuichi! Yuichi, you got a letter from school!

- I already know what it is. - Show it to me!

I'm probably either suspended or expelled

for disgracing the school or whatever.

That's it! Suspended for a month.

See? I told you so.

That's nothing to be proud of!

Pack your bags and get the hell out of here!

Got it.

Yuichi...

Young Ace!

'Sup!

- I'm here with good news! - What's that?

One of the Electric Showdown judges was that lady promoter,

- Kazuko Ishihara, right? - Yeah.

She came to me and said,

"Why don't you become a pro?"

Huhhh?! That's amazing!

It's your dream come true, eh?

It's all thanks to you! Thank you!

Aw, no! It's your talent!

Well, then you came up...

She asked if the two of us would form a band.

Hmm?

But I told her you had school and football practice,

so probably not.

In that case, don't hold back! Maybe I should get in on this!

Huh?!

This band will keep us fed, right?

But what about school?

Don't worry about it! That's taken care of!

Let's go!

[ Tanohisa Restaurant ]

Young Ace!

Yeah. Let's go.

Wonder what's going on...?

Thank you very much.

Oh! Welcome!

Hey!

I'm sorry about the other day.

I'm the one who owes you an apology.

I'm so sorry you went through that for me.

Aw, it's just the way it goes.

I heard that everyone was suspended from school for a month.

Yeah...

Hey, hold on a sec.

So you can't even stay at home?

No, but Takashi asked me to join a professional band with him.

Really?

Tonight our band is heading to Nikko for a month.

Nikko?

We're gonna perform at a hotel club.

We'll hone our skills in the provinces first...

then move on to Tokyo.

It's our promoter's idea.

I'm glad I got to see you before we leave.

Come on.

- Can I help you? - Hm?

Ah! Sumi!

- Where'd you go? - Just out for a bit.

I've been waiting...

Thanks for covering me!

- Sumi... - Hm?

Um...

When is your next day off?

Yeah, I wonder...?

Not until the 10th of next month.

Next month?

I'll still be suspended! Bingo!

Uh, how about we go for a drive? Maybe an overnight stay?

And I won't cause an accident! Not this time!

I was drunk at the time, y'see?

Oh

So that accident was really caused by you...?

Whoops! You got me!

Y'see...

After so many violations, I was on the verge of losing my license!

So, Tanuma took the blame for me.

So, that's how it is...

Yeesh, don't give me that scary look.

Ishiyama, take me for a drive!

But I get to choose were we go!

Follow me where I go

There are so many stars in the night sky

We'll walk together as far as the eye can see

I'll take your hand, my love

I promise you

I'll hold your hand, I'll never let go

Don't cry, you've got me

Wipe away your tears and try to smile

Try to smile, try to smile

Lalala Lalalalala...

Oh, please take my luggage to my room.

Welcome!

Um, may I ask you something?

I believe there's someone named Tanuma here...

He's in the band.

Oh yeah, he's headed to the lake right now.

If you go out front, straight through the garden, you'll hit the lake.

Thank you!

Please leave my room key at the front desk!

Sumi! Sumi!!

Sheehh!

Wha-?

Yuichi!

Yuichi!

- Whoa, Sumiko! - Hello!

- When did you get here? - I just arrived!

Wow!

I really owe you an apology.

What for?

It was Ishiyama who hit my car, not you.

Ishiyama told me himself.

I'm really sorry!

Aw, it's okay.

But I'm glad you're here.

I wrote this song while thinking about you.

Wanna hear? - Yes!

The sunset over the two of us

The evening twilight

Tomorrow will be wonderful, too

Happiness will come to us

Your eyes will shine with stars

This heart in love

Burning with fire

The sky is glowing

Even though the setting sun is fading

Our hearts will never change

Forever

I'm happy...

I'm happiest when I'm with you.

I'm not letting you go for the rest of my life.

Okay...?

Tonight, too, as the sun sets

Though time goes by

Our feelings will never change

Forever

Ha!

Korayotto! Ha!

Yoi! Yoi!

HA!!

- Sumi, let's dance! - Not right now.

I want to listen to Tanuma's songs.

Haa~ Eyy~

Take a glance

Yoi! Yoi!

Some traditional song and dance for my folks back home

Here it is~ This form~

Ha!!

Korayotto! Ha!

Haa~ Eyy~

Traditional song and dance

Take the girl with me

Let out a strong "Here it is!" I'm the groom~

Ha!

Oh my!

Isn't that Young Snake?!

- What's this? - I'm here on vacation

but the hotel's not so happy to have me!

- Oh, well, sorry about that! - Huh?

My dad owns this hotel, too.

I am an executive here in name only.

What's the trouble here?

You have a companion, don't you?

I do but, she's vanished.

I brought her with me.

So, Young Snake...

I can get her away from Tanuma for you.

Just hold tight.

Excuse me, a moment.

Your sponsor wants to have a word with you.

- Will you see her? - My sponsor?

She's a bit selfish, so don't spoil her good mood.

Sure, okay. I'll see you later, Sumi.

- I've brought him. - Appreciate it.

- Oh, it's you! - Is that a problem?

No, not at all.

I'm The Blue Jeans's sponsor.

Thank you very much.

Hey, what do you do during the day when you're not working?

Nothing in particular.

In that case...

would you join me for a long ride tomorrow?

A long ride?

Sumi!

- Wanna go for a drive? - Sure, let's do that!

So, Tanuma...

What do you think of me?

Oh, I dunno...

You think I'm an arrogant, cocky little girl, don't you?

That's terrible!

Do you like the girl you were dancing with yesterday?

Yeah.

Makes no difference to me!

Okay! Let's stop for a bit!

La~ lalalala la~

After you!

La~ La~ Lalalala la~

What's all this?

Eh? Check it out!

This is my signature Date Set.

Lalalala~ Lalala~la

- I'm going home. - It's still light out!

Worried about Sumiko?

She's having a good time with Ishiyama right now.

Sumiko is not like that.

- Oh, you're so protective! - Nothing needs protecting.

Lalalala~ Lala~

Lalalalalala~ Lalala~

Ow, hot!

Lalalalala~ Lalala~

Have a seat!

Here. Cheers!

- Convenient, eh? - Sure...

But how many women have you seduced with this?

No way! You're the first! I mean it!

I wonder...

So what's the lipstick on this glass all about?

Gghh!

Excuse me, I'll go wash right away.

Hee hee! Just kidding! But you fell for it, huh?

Sheehhh!

What is that?

A pillow.

Sumiko, would you like to lie down and chat?

You dog!

You don't have to lie down to talk.

Oh, I suppose you're right.

I'll just say it. I like you! I love you!

No! What are you doing?

I adore you!

No, Ishiyama! Get your hands off me!

- Rude!! - Ah! Ouch!

I love you Sumiiiiiy... ow-ow-ow-ow!

Somebody!!

Help!!!

What was that?

No! No!

What do you think?

Somebody, please!

Help!!

Hup!

No! No!!

Let go!

Somebody...!

Stop!

No! Somebody!

Hyaa!

Ack...

Let go!

Augh, that hurts!

Eek!

Ouch! Ow...

Ah...! Tanuma!

Hey, Ishiyama!

Sumi...

- Augh! You!! - Ishiyama!

Get outta here!!

- Stop! You're still a student! - The hell?!

You and I are both suspended! We're in the same boat, here!

I could care less about school!

Cut it out, Ishiyama!

Stop that!

Bring it on!

You jerk!

Hey, Ishiyama! Keep it together!

Sorry if that hurt.

Aw, jeez.

I'm pretty soft, huh?

You're too strong! Humiliating...

What's wrong?

- You're at fault too, Sumi. - Huh?

You go out here with a man like this, he can get the wrong idea.

What are you saying?!

And here I was, happy to see you!

I see how it is. You don't want me here!

- Sumiko! - Sumiko!

- Welcome back. - Hey, guys.

- Welcome back. - Welcome back.

Ah, Mr. Tanuma. A telegram for you.

A telegram?

"Restaurant bankrupt. Come home now. Teruko"

[ Tanohisa Restaurant ]

[ The Tanuma family has moved residence to the Hillside Apartments ]

But why did you go broke?

Business hasn't been great for a while now.

Then came the recession.

We have a lot of big business debts.

The world has changed.

What happened to your plan to build up the building?

If the bank doesn't lend me money, there's nothing I can do.

Well, this looks like quite a comfortable place to live.

What's so great about living there?

All the way up on the 11th floor. I don't feel like living anymore.

Yuichi, it's your favorite steamed buns.

Thanks.

I haven't eaten anything since this morning.

Your stomach is so strong!

C'mere and eat.

How are Dad and Teruko?

Your father joined the central market's accounting department.

Teruko quit her dressmaking school and went to work.

She's helping out.

I'm home.

You have a guest?

Dad, it's me.

Yuichi. It's you.

You've been having a hard time, Dad.

What's that?

What the hell are you doing here?

Oh, really, Kyutaro.

Yuichi was worried and came to see us!

I won't be fooled by that.

We don't have the luxury to support a delinquent son like you.

Get out of here.

Yuichi, if you're leaving, take me with you this time.

I didn't do anything

to deserve being locked up in a concrete box like this!

Concrete box? I'm paying the rent, you know!

As long as I have this shamisen and your grandpa's robe

I'm fine with sleeping under a bridge.

- Okay, let's go! - Slow down, Granny!

I'm the son of Tanohisa Restaurant.

I'm sure the place will get back on its feet.

Just be patient until then.

I'm home! Yuichi!

What's up?

Teruko, thanks for the telegram.

Granny was so down, we sent it without telling Dad.

I know it's hard, but I'm counting on you.

What are you gonna do?

- Hey! - Yuichi!

Yuichi, wait!

- Take me with you! - Yuichi!

[ NOTICE: The suspended students are allowed back on campus ]

Anyway, glad you made it back in time for the season.

You'll need to practice hard from now on if you want to win!

- Got that?! - Yessir!!

Good!

By the way, what happened to Tanuma?

Oh no!!

Young Ace submitted his resignation! - Whaaat?!

- Eguchi, read this. - Okay!

"Dear members of the KU American Football Team

Due to present circumstances,

I am unable to fulfill my responsibilities as captain

nor as a team member.

And so I resign from the club."

How selfish! I won't allow it!

- No, it's hard on him too. - Oh yeah?!

His family is broke. He wants to quit school to work.

Really?

Then we need to decided on a new captain!

- Yes sir. - Hey!

The runner-up from the last election...

Me?!

- Ishiyama only got one vote! - But that was runner-up!

So Ishiyama is the captain?

Yeah! Any objections? Didn't think so!

Then you're captain.

- Do it right. - Thank ya, thank ya!

I, Shinjiro Ishiyama, as captain of the football team

will do my utmost best to fulfill my responsibilities!

I'm sorry about Nikko.

I said things that hurt you.

It's okay!

I was jealous.

You're not still mad?

Don't worry about it. It's embarassing!

How about you come hear us play tonight?

We're gonna play at that club where we had the big fight.

Sure, I'd love to.

You guys wait over there. Manager, a word.

Well, if it isn't Sumi!

Oh, were you invited too, Ishiyama?

No.

As captain of the football team I'm here to persuade Tanuma.

Persuade?

Young Ace's family is bankrupt.

He's quitting the team and university.

What?

He's trying to revive Tanohisa with his music...

but we thought we could help somehow. Right?

Yep. 3 blue tiles, 4...

Aw, dang. I'm out.

Give up, already! Just give it up.

Umm, where's Tanuma?

The boss called him. He's over in the boss's office.

Okay.

It's alright, just give up! You're done already!

Who is? Deal me in!

Hey, Tanuma...

I just can't stand to see...

my healthy daughter be so depressed!

I can't take it.

I know she's not the best girl around, but will you have her?

If you can give her what she wants I'll do the same for you.

For example

I can help you finance the rebuilding of your failing home.

Of course, you'll have to go back to college.

What do you think? Will you marry Michiko?

I understand your feelings.

But I'm in love with someone else.

Oh, is that so?

And as for rebuilding my home,

I know it sounds cocky, but I'm going to try to do it on my own.

Too bad.

Thank you for understanding.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Dad...

Let's go downstairs for a drink.

Young Ace! You had a visitor earlier!

Who's that?

I didn't get a good look, but it was a lady.

Huh...

- Hey! Young Ace! - Tanuma!

Oh, you came all this way...

- Young Ace, we need to talk. - About what?

The other day you wrote a song in Nikko.

Yeah?

This song is so good, I'm thinking of putting it on record and selling it.

Whoa! Really?!

That way, I can pay you for it, and you can go back to school.

Everyone is worried about you.

You should learn a lot while you're young!

Well! Then I'm going back to school tomorrow!

Oh, thank goodness!

But I'm the captain now!

Alright! Let's do it!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Ho!!

Alright! Bring it in!

Good! Keep it up!

We're gonna win against Northwestern tomorrow for sure!

Is Sumiko here today?

She's been out for 3 or 4 days.

Hmm?

Yo! Young Ace!

What's wrong?

Tomorrow's Northwestern game. Aim for the usual.

Yeah...

Said she's been gone for 3 or 4 days.

Eh...?

Oh my! Why're you both so gloomy?

We came to see Sumiko, but she's not here.

Really? I got a strange letter from her.

I was curious about it, so I came here.

"I think there is no one else who can make Yuichi happier than you, Michiko.

I wish you both happiness, and I will disappear."

She thinks Yuichi and I are getting married.

But I was thoroughly dumped.

This is bad. Where was the letter mailed from?

It's postmarked Nikko.

Hey, Ishiyama, can I borrow your car?

What're you gonna do?

I'm sure she's at the hotel in Nikko.

I gotta find her, just in case!

Hey, we have a game tomorrow!

I'm sure I'll be back before the game starts.

Please reassure the other guys. Thanks!

Ah! Tanuma!

We got a call from a young lady in Tokyo.

- What about Sumiko Hoshiyama? - She went out for the day.

Where did she go...?

Sumiko!

Sumiko!!
